t turned out to be a few actors talking aboutthe Day of the Dead. It was interesting but because I had told the girls we were going to a puppet show all they kept saying over and over and over was "where are the puppets, where are the puppets?" It was a packed room so it was a bit embarrassing because everyone else heard them too. Thankfully after the show was over I remembered they had little hand puppets in the kid's section of the library.
Earlier in the week Bryn met us at the zoo. We have discovered that the fake animals are sometimes more exciting than the real ones. Josie might be holding on just a bit too tight. Bryn's little sister, Ansley, is in the front.
We stopped by the bird cage where you buy a stick with bird seed on it for $1 and the birds fly right up and sit on your stick or hand and eat. It was a big hit!
It seems that the 100 degree weather really ripened up the fruit and vegetables. Above Marty and Josie picking plums from our tree. We never really had many plums from this tree until this year. We had to prune it back to fit the swingset and that must have really put the tree into production mode. We have more plums than we know what to do with. Josie is still working on not swallowing the pits. She must have at least 8 pits in her belly.
These are our first tomatoes and our first cucumber this year. We ate them last night for dinner and they were delicious. Nothing like fresh tomatoes from the garden.
Earlier in the week Josie and I went blackberry picking near our house. I picked the full bucket and Josie picked the not so full bucket. Notice the blackberry juice around her mouth... hmmm... wonder why her bucket is so empty :) Actually, given the fact that blackberries are not that easy to pick, she did great. She picked the low ones and I picked the higher ones. After several run-ins with the thorns, she started getting pretty good at steering clear of the prickly branches.
